$20M gift to advance cancer research

Research of a cure for blood cancers will be advanced thanks to a $20 million gift by Los Angeles entrepreneur Norbert Gehr. Gehr, who lost his own fight with leukemia in February 2015, donated $20 million to the Keck School of Medicine of USC. The funds will support USC physician-scientists Drs. David Goldstein and Casey O’Connell in their translational research efforts.
